We were proud to be joined by: John Robert Smith of Transportation For America Jaibin M. and Mehr Mukhtar of Smart Growth America George Real Bird III , Big Horn County, MT Darrel Folkvord, Broadwater County, MT Led by David Strohmaier Together, we’re advancing a corridor that spans seven states, 47 counties, and countless communities that deserve access to safe, reliable, long-distance passenger rail. #BigSkyNorthCoastCorridor #PassengerRail #BSPRA #Amtrak #MontanaRail #FRA #USDOT #TransportationForAmerica #RuralMobility #PublicRail #PassengerRail
